Solvent Cements, Primers and Accessories.

Solvent cement welding is one of the most commonly used jointing techniques for above ground piping. It is a reliable, safe and efficient method of installing PVC-U , PVC-C and ABS piping systems. To make a joint, the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting are coated with a chemically active solvent cement, softening and making liquid the surface area to be joined. When joined together the two parts bond almost immediately, and the cement cures to give a joint that is stronger than the pipe itself.
